Something like:
<currency type="GBP" unit="shilling" date="1860">6</shilling> to
<currency type="GBP" unit="shilling" date="1860">20</shilling>
shillings
the actual word "shillings" need not be marked up.

As I've already pointed out; amounts could be styled with currency
symbols in the same way that "Q" tags are styled with quote marks (or in
the above example, suppressed by using, say, class="nosymbol"); and the
date attribute would allow for modern-day equivalence to be calculated.
